Early in my ownership, my wife spilled a large amount of coffee on the center console and subsequently on the screen. Needless to say, I spent quite a bit of time cleaning the mess up and I noticed the some smudges on the 15" screen were pretty hard to take off. I eventually cleaned off the smudges, purchased an Amazon screen protector, which was ok but wasn't high quality and the glare on sunny days was noticeable. I took that screen protector off and have since spent time cleaning finger print smudges off the screen.
I Was recently contacted by @Screen Protech to see if I would be interested in reviewing their screen protectors for the F-150 Lightning. Seeing as I still wanted protection I gave it a shot. Before committing I did looked around their website to see what they were about, to be honest I was skeptical, mainly because they sell screen protectors that requite squeegee, solution and patience. Basically, the screen protectors are film like the ones used on phones. I opted for the HD and crossed my fingers that I didn't screw this up.
The package I received included 1 squeegee, 1 bottle with solution, 1 microfiber towel, 2 15" screen protectors and 2 Instrument cluster protectors. Installation instructions require you to scan and watch a video, which IMO was very helpful with this install.

Items included with tube:
Installation was a breeze, it does require you to use a lot of solution both on the screen and the protector. One thing I would recommend is that you put several microfiber towels beneath the screen in order to not soak your console up. For the instrument cluster there is not much you can do as far as keeping things dry.
Screen Before Protector Install:
During Installation:
All Done both 15" and Instrument Cluster:
Verdict:
So far so good, there is still a bit of moisture behind both films that the squeegee could not get out. According to @Screen Protech the moisture and any bubbles will disappear on their own after a couple of days. The film itself is almost a perfect fitment, although it could be install error as you can see here:
I did go back and install the 2nd included film and that one was a better fit. If you are pretty good at installing these type of film protectors these will work for you. As far as feel and feedback, everything seems stock almost as if nothing is there. I'll report back in a couple of days/week to give more feedback.
The instrument cluster film might not be for everyone. In my area it tends to get pretty dusty and a lot of lint gets on the cluster. Cleaning it even with the best microfiber towels still tends to leave micro scratches so that's why I opted to install that one. Overall, I think this is a great product that is pretty easy to install, 15 min and I was done. I am most likely going to purchase a set for my wife's A4 and my Miata.
These are available for both the 12 and 15 inch screens
